Title: Freaky Friday Year Of Release: 2003 Review Date: April 30, 2011 Rating: PG Running time: 97 minutes Box
Office Gross: The pilfered premise of the 2003 movie "Freaky Friday" stars Jamie
Lee Curtis and now disgraced actress, Lindsay Lohan, as a parent and child, who
switch bodies for a short time, due to a magical Chinese fortune
cookie. "Freaky Friday" is based on the 1976 book of the same name. The
movie is a rip off of the 1987 film "Like Father, Like Son" starring
Kirk Cameron and the late Dudley Moore, which is also based on the 1976
"Freaky Friday" book. However, elements not present in the book, were
taken from the 1987 film and included in the 2003 retelling. Ironically, both films and the 1976 book "Freaky Friday" are
awfully similar to the 1882 novel "Vice Versa" which spawned the 1988
film of the same name, starring Fred Savage and Judge Reinhold. The "Freaky Friday" film comes across as weak and superficial, due
to whiny over-actor Lindsay Lohan. How someone went from being the girl next
door, to the girl next door if the house next door is a brothel, is anyone’s
guess. Lohan must remember those days and cry, as it was the beginning of her
downward spiral.
